The Alamo

We also took the girls to the downtown market in San Antonio and rode the trolly to the Alamo and then walked over to the riverwalk. After Sea World this was a little on the "dull" side for them! They were actually looking forward to the boat ride at the riverwalk but unfortunately when we got there they had closed due to "bad weather".

These are the only pictures I have from the Alamo so I figured I better post them all.

Sea World

For days now, I have been trying to get my Sea World pictures to upload and have been unsuccessful. So...I decided that I better just post what I have or else it might never get done. We had such a great time on this trip. It's hard to just pick a few favorites, and even harder when the favorites won't work.
So, here's part one of the trip to Texas!!!

Dancing Princesses

Baylee and Avery both started taking Dance lessons this year. Avery couldn't wait to put on her cute dance outfit and have her picture taken. I told them to look like pretty dancing princesses, and this was the pose I got from both of them...so I guess that's what dancing princesses look like!!

Riding without training wheels!!

Avery decided that she was big enough to ride a 2 wheeler with no training wheels. I didn't believe her, so I took them off her small bike to give her a shot...and she really can do it. She's been practicing for a few days now, and can make it all the way up and down the street by herself. She's such a big girl!!!

Cute Girls!!!

I took a few pictures of the girls today before church and they turned out pretty cute so I thought I'd share them...

Our Labor Day project

At about 5:00 pm on Friday night Dave and I decided that we wanted to tile the floor in the master bath. We got all the carpet and pad pulled out and the baseboards off on Friday night. Saturday morning Dave went and had to buy all of our supplies. We got the backer board down and all of the tile layed on Saturday. Then on Monday, Labor Day, we filled in the grout and got the baseboards back on, caulked and painted. It was a lot bigger job than we thought it would be, but I'm SOOO glad we did it!!

Here's the finised product...

Avery's 3rd Birthday

I can't believe it's been 4 days and I haven't posted anything about Avery's birthday!!! It's probably because it feels like her birthday has lasted a week. Everyday she wakes up and asks what we are going to do for her birthday today. We have spent LOTS of time in the water...since she's our little fish!!
Her birthday party will be on Saturday but we couldn't wait to give her some of her presents. She was so cute when she finally got to open them. Anything wrapped up in pretty paper is extremeby exciting to her...as you can tell from her expressions.

She finally got her big girl bike so that she can keep up with the rest of the neighborhood kids. She had a little 12 inch bike but it just didn't go fast enough to keep up with her.

She is such a cute little girl. We are lucky to have her!! She brightens our day and ALWAYS puts a smile on our face. She certainly gives us a run for our money but we wouldn't have it any other way. She's growing up so fast and thinks that she can do everything the big kids do. She's getting excited to be a big sister but it makes me sad that she won't be the baby anymore.

We love you Ave and hope you have the best birthday week ever!!!
